I care about both, I want to be healthy and also look decent. It's more about living healthy for me though.
Ppl that think otherwise and hate on me because of the way I look can kiss da rings.

That all depends on how you define "salad". My wife has been a weight watcher (tm) for almost two years (and has lost almost 80 pounds), and the salads she fixes for us are mighty tasty and filling, but still come in at around 5-6 WW points.
Sure if you go to a restaurant and order some of their "salads", you're only deluding yourself if you think it is even remotely healthy. But that doesn't make the Double Down excusable. Based on the published info on the "sandwich" (540 cal., 32g fat, unknown dietary fiber - but let's give them some HUGE leeway on that one, and call it at 4g), it clocks in at 13 POINTS. The points value alone should be enough to scare you away, but the fact that most of that comes from 32 grams of fat, coupled with the fact that the things has over 1300mg of sodium on it, should make you want to puke just thinking about putting something so obscene into your body.
Points values are only indicators. You still have to work to maintain a proper balance of carbs, proteins, and healthy fats in your diet. The Double Down has ZERO balance.

yeah i know, but i have 35 points a day and i'm actually under my goal weight now so i'm fattening up a little. 13 points is nothing for me. and yeah when i make a salad it's about 3 points.

Good for you! My wife has been under her goal weight since last August, so I really do understand what an accomplishment that was for you.
And you are certainly entitled to do what you think is best for you. It's just that when I read things that sound (to me) like they are glib or flippant comments about obesity, it's kind of a touchy subject for me, for reasons that I'd rather not go into here. But suffice it to say that, while it may be okay to indulge in an occasional "bad thing", you still need to recognize that something as out-of-balance on the fat scale as the Double Down may not add an inch to your waist, but it could contribute to other health problems.
As a humorous aside, when my wife hit her goal, and had successfully maintained it for three months, she decided to treat herself with a fairly indulgent dinner out. We went to a place called the Iceberg Drive Inn (it's an old-fashioned malt shop style chain, but I think it is only found in the Rocky Mountain states). Pretty much everything they serve is a) huge, b) fried, or c) BOTH. But, she wanted onion rings, so I took her to Iceberg, along with a big group of friends to help celebrate. We ordered our dinner, and proceeded to dig in. I have never seen anything quite like the look on her face as she ate (or at least TRIED to eat). I don't think she finished more than about two onion rings, and a few bites of her "healthy" chicken sandwich. Then she looked at me and said "whose idea was it to come here, anyway?" Everyone had a good laugh (but no one really felt like finishing their meal
).
That would be awesome, I might just do this... but at the end of it all I can't let BadMoon convince me to put the Double Dingle in my temple.
Yes Moon, that's my house.
Aren't the toilet bowls supposed to go INSIDE the house?

yeah i definately do not eat like i used to, but i do like something bad every once in awhile..... i live on the edge. Live fast, die somewhat young and leave a bloated corpse......
but really i love chicken - i don't eat beef, seafood and because of my girlfriend's extreme allergy to turkey i don't get to eat that as well. that leave pork and chicken and pork is really a once in a while thing so chicken it is and KFC is grub. you get the right things and you can eat well and not build up a lot of points or heart attack......except for this sandwich, which i will have......

Did you eat your double down at work?
NO!
That has to be on the down low!
(I even hid the bag under the car seat.)
